glossariessectioning
I am looking for a way I could make glossary to put a full name of acronym in the beginning of each chapter.
Here is my code sample:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newacronym{cd}{CD}{compact disk}
\begin{document}
\chapter{A}
\gls{cd} is a...
\chapter{B}
\gls{cd} is a...
\end{document}
It is compiled into:
Chapter 1
A
compact disk (CD) is a …
Chapter 2
B
CD is a… //<- should be compact disk (CD)
You need to install Perl. There's a free version for Windows: ActivePerl Community Edition.
To debug, don't start with the editor but
makeindex works at all, run it yourselfThe problem here is that you're mixing old and new commands. My original answer that you linked to is several years old and uses commands that are now deprecated, such as \glossarystyle and \glossaryentryfield. Your MWE has changed the deprecated \glossarystyle to \setglossarystyle but hasn't changed the deprecated \glossaryentryfield. By using the new \setglossarystyle, the backward-compatibility is removed and \glossaryentryfield isn't used.
To fix it, just replace \glossaryentryfield with the newer \glossentry:
\renewcommand*{\glossentry}[2]{%
\edef\doifinlocation{\noexpand\ifinlocation{\thechapter}{##2}}%
\doifinlocation
{%
\item \glossentryname{##1} \glossentrydesc{##1}%
}%
}%
Complete MWE:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{datatool-base}
\usepackage[counter=chapter,xindy,section=section]{glossaries}
\GlsSetXdyMinRangeLength{0}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{E}{name={\ensuremath{E}},description={energy}}
\newglossaryentry{m}{name={\ensuremath{m}},description={mass}}
\newglossaryentry{c}{name={\ensuremath{c}},description={speed of light}}
\newglossaryentry{v}{name={\ensuremath{v}},description=velocity}
\newglossarystyle{mystyle}%
{%
\setglossarystyle{list}%
\renewcommand*{\glossaryentrynumbers}[1]{\striprelax##1\endstriprelax}%
\renewcommand*{\glsXchapterXglsnumberformat}[2]{##2}%
\renewcommand*{\delimR}{,}%
\renewcommand*{\glossentry}[2]{%
\edef\doifinlocation{\noexpand\ifinlocation{\thechapter}{##2}}%
\doifinlocation
{%
\item \glossentryname{##1} \glossentrydesc{##1}%
}%
}%
}
\newcommand{\ifinlocation}[3]{%
\DTLifinlist{#1}{#2}{#3}{}%
}
\def\striprelax\relax#1\endstriprelax{#1}
\setglossarystyle{mystyle}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Sample Chapter}
\printglossary
\begin{equation}
\gls{E} = \gls{m}\cdot \gls{c}^2
\end{equation}
\glsresetall
\chapter{Another Chapter}
\printglossary
\begin{equation}
\gls{E} = \frac{\gls{m}\gls{v}^2}{2}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
First chapter:
Second chapter:

Use either
\glsreset{cd}before the second\gls{cd}to reset it (there is also\glsresetall) or use\glsfirst{cd}to typeset it like it would be the first use. See theglossariesmanual for all the details.
